Can someone help me with the ulp,

or can you give me an example?

| string cmd;

| sheet(SHE) { // access the sheet context

| SHE.rectangles(REC) { // loop through all rectangles on sheet level

| if (ingroup(REC)) { // only process grouped rectangles

| sprintf(cmd, "%srect (%fmm %fmm) (%fmm %fmm);", cmd, u2mm(REC.x1) - 1, u2mm(REC.y1) - 1, u2mm(REC.x2) + 1, u2mm(REC.y2) + 1);

| }

|

| exit(cmd);

copies all grouped rectangles to the currently selected layer, adding

1mm on all sides

if you use

| exit("delete (>0 0);" + cmd);

as the last line, the original rectangles will be removed, leaving

only the copies.

well, you can change the values in the dialog ... 8-)

not out of the box, but one could create an ULP to do it.

As you can't easyly change an existing rectangle, I would just create

new rectangles with the modified size and delete the old ones.

Alternativly you could set the grid to the value you want to change

your rectangle and drag the edge(s) with left mouse + ctrl button
